CATALYZE EVERY STUDENT’S CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS

As a teacher or educational administrator, you know all students have the potential to combine existing knowledge into creative ideas and innovative solutions.

All students – yes, every single one of them – have the potential to develop their creative thinking skills.

We know you don’t need yet another program to fit into the year’s already packed lesson plans.

You want tools – validated tools – to shift how to engage students.

What if you had access to creative thinking toolsets and skillsets that could be applied to an existing curriculum? What if those tools and strategies also included product development and assessment processes that allowed you to meet – if not exceed – the standards? And what if those skillsets and mindsets were exactly what you’ve been looking for to improve students’ rigorous thinking and levels of authentic productivity in all Future-Ready programs (Problem-Based, Inquiry-Based and Design Thinking).

Enter COURSE 2: CBL PROCESS & PRODUCT, a 9 module online course that provides evidence-based, classroom-tested toolsets and skillsets that foster students’ curiosity and confidence in their creative thinking and guides them to develop visual and written products using an experiment-oriented process.

The Result? Upon completing the course, you’ll come away with researched and practical strategies that empower you to cultivate your students’ creative, critical, and design thinking capacities. When you integrate these strategies into your existing curriculum, your students will shift from being passive, dependent learners to confident, autonomous ones.

You’ll Learn How To:

• Intensify brainstorming sessions that result in more productive outcomes.
• Cultivate a creative thinking culture in the classroom.
• Increase students’ idea generation and creative output.
• Hone students’ critical thinking skills as part of choice making and designing.
• Use graphic organizers to define relationships and support the brain’s need for organization.
• Scaffold and enhance the development of creative writing abilities using specific skillsets and toolsets.
• Use assessment processes to support incremental change during the cyclic process of creativity.
• Align your students’ creative product development with standards.
• Enhance attribute thinking abilities to increase students’ out-of-the-box, innovative thinking.
• Use toolsets and skillsets to teach creativity developmentally.
• Integrate product development in all Project-Based, Problem-Based, and Inquiry-Based Learning environments.
